Spain - Balearic Islands

Balearic Islands form an archipelago on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Majorca is the largest of three islands. Over the past 30 years, the archetype of the sun-sea-sangria.

In crowded places like Magaluf, hotels have literally been swept away and replaced old island while trying to add a new quality. The capital Palma is one of the most visited and well known smaller towns of Spain.

Ibiza has long been thought to be good for its rave scene, which is concentrated in the charming town of Ibiza Hippie Chic, Canyon, San Antonio and Playa d'en Bossa. However, if you go away from these placesfind that the island is incredibly rural.

A narrow channel separates Ibiza from Formentera. Formentera is the least inhabited Balearic Island and it looks like it is sprinkled with soft, white sand. Moreover, it is accessible only by ferry. Although Majorca and Ibiza have excellent beaches, Menorca is famous for its bays. Tourists who come to Menorca are mainly families with children because the atmosphere on this island is much calmer and quieter than on the other two Islands.
